Yes, even without enzymes and cells. I have DNA crystallization based tiling systems that can implement essentially arbitrary 1d cellular automata and could implement Turing machines directly. People have implemented neural networks with branch-migration-based systems, and DNA gates can be used to implement systems of logic gates and a wide class of chemical reaction networks. There's a whole field of DNA and molecular computing.
